hey James I followed this rad guide here:

in the end all you're doing is loading a roll of film with the base side(shiny side) flipped the other way into an empty roll of film.so you're shooting through the base side instead of the emulsion side. this gives you the red/yellow/orange hues for that's as far as the light penetrates the layers of the film. Also it's advised to overexpose the film by changing your iso. 400 becomes 200, 200 to 100, etc.
